Oh, Yeah!

Turnaround starts today.

Christy Mathewson did it twice too.

Oh, Yeah!

Turnaround starts today.

Christy Mathewson did it twice too.

When he's bad, he's horrid. But when he's good, he's very, very good.

Oh, I almost forgot. Fuck kershaw.

Timmay got a double-bucket blue powerade shower. Changed into a USMNT shirt. Good omen for tomorrow.

To be fair, pretty much any non-Verlander pitcher is at worst 10:1 to no-hit San Diego these days.

Twice against the Padres in under a calendar year.

Per the San Jose Murky News twitter, Lincecum becomes only the second pitcher in mlb history to have the combination of two no-hitter, two Cy Young, and two World Series championships.

The other is Sandy Koufax.

Rick Porcello becomes the 3rd pitcher since 1900 to win at least 10 games each of his first 6 seasons before turning 26.

ETA: If you're curious, the other two are Bert Blyleven and Dennis Eckersley.

GFD Grilli.

Pumped to officially get my feet in the dirt today with my new @Angels teammates. Excited to play for a powerhouse team.

Buh-bye.

I missed the ridiculousness of the book he released this past spring:

This was supposed to be the year for me, something I predicted all along. I promised myself and any inhabitants of the world who followed me that the year I turned thirty-three would be my "Prophetic year!" ... I grew my hair out, even turned my goatee into a beard. ... In another ironic twist, I even stepped on a rusty nail while cleaning out my garage during the offseason. This was going to be my season of resurrection.

[howard]

He compared Grilli's book to the most narcissistic film of all time, The Room, and to David Brent of The Office. Sounds like he measures up well.

Dodgers just hit into a 7-2-4 triple play. That's some bad baserunning.
